The Creamerles.

The cleamerics started at Colora
and Rising Sun, got down to work
this week. Mr. Conner received
something over 700 pounds of milk
the first day with an increased guam
tity every day which he puts through
the separator, dividing the cream
from the milk of each days supply
in about an hour.
Mr.. BalderstOn and Russell were
not quite ready to start steam on
Monday when we paid their factory a
visit. the engineer having been kept
from work by sickness. They were
making butter however by their old
process, till the steam power was got
in operation. They have an arched
vault ten feet under ground for their
milk and butter: nice cool airy

the National Drill aud Encamp-
ment at Washington.


The National Drill and Encamp-
ment, which opens in Washington
May 23d, continuing until the 3Oth,
will be one of the most interesting
events that ever occurred in the his
tory of Americas militia. Its incep.
ton was the outgrowth of that gener.
al desire to make the volunteer mil.
itary of the several States more effec-
tive and as step in that direction
this competitive contest was arrang-
ed, and valuable prizes of cash, med
ais, and trophies, offered as rewards
for excellence in drill. Washington
was very appropriately selected as
the place, the citizens responded lib
orally, the War Department lent it's
aid, and the success of the enterprise
is assured beyond any possibility of
doubt, Over thirty of the States and
Territories will be represented by
military organizations, and the daily
contests, embracing all the branches
of military service from the manual
OF arms TO brigade drill, will be in
tensely interesting to every one.
The cash prizes amount to $26,500.
The camp will be pitched on the
grounds surrounding the Washing
ton Monument, and the drill ground
will be marked out on the campus be-
tween the Monument and the White
House.
The universal interest which will be
felt in the drill in all parts of the
country. and the excellent opportu-
nifty it will afford for visiting the
National Capital at the most beauti-
full season of the year, will draw
thousands to Washington. The city,
noted as the most beautiful capital
of the world, never appears to so good
an advantage as in the first blush of
spring, nor is there any pleasanter
time to visit the parks, gardens, and
public buildings than this. All the
public property is open to the inspec,
ton of visitors.
In order to accommodate visitors
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will sell excursion tickets, May 2lst

tails of which will be announced by

Two Pictures.

Paint me an apple tree crowded with blooms,
And meath it-upliftipg two round arms bare,
To the wealth of blossoms not half so fair
AS the white hand thrust midst their perfume
Paint young girl with an angels face
Soft brown hair, with a tint of gold
Slumberng i'll every braid and fold,
Growing her queen of youth and grace.
Give her deep sweet eyes of darkest blue.
Lake Constance eyes-with the sunny light
OF noble nature strong and bright.
Shining steadily through and through.
Give her oval cheeks the delicate tint,
Of the sky as it fiushes at dawn of day;
But before you have touched the mouth, pray
Painter, try you hard to imprint
My words on your memory's safest cell.
The red curved lips must be full of pride,
And yet, not overmuch to hide
The gracious sweetness / know well.
The subtle something but half revealed
By the beautiful lips of the pictured face
Lends it an almost pathetic grace
That is fairer than human speech can tell.
Paint me q face that is older and wiser
The face that is now the girls over there,
Leave out the youth, but make it fair.
Place lines where dimples once reigned supreme
Put thought into eyes that once held dream,
Take little-for Time-from the oval check
And-tO the lips just ready to speak
Give a fainter red; but you must pay
Back for what you have taken away
A hundred fold. Make a sanity face,
With nothing of earthneSS, not q trace.
Use your best skill on the SteadfaSt eyes,
Pure as a child's-aS tender and wise
Let a beautiful life shine thro the face
Let every sad hour, if you choose, keep pace
And accent itself in her silvering hair
But, then, do you think you can gather there
The blessings of living and of those long dead
And weave in a crown for the silvery head?
All, painter. | see your brush falls back
And the hand that held it is all too slack.
Greater than you have failed | ween,
To picture the essence of things not SEEN"
But two pictures live in my heart alway:
AS l saw her then, and again to-day.

HIS LIFE A SAD ONE.
Thirteen Cats and Eleven Dogs Make
Him Tired Of Home.
From the BaLtimore american.

From the Baltimore american.
Esquire, she had thirteen dogs and eleven
cats in the house, and we couldn't agree. paid
a man s. to come round into the yard and try
and make some arrangement with the animals,
so that could get some rest, and that's the
cause of the disagreement My wife would have
the dogs and cats and resented any interference
with them. We have no children"
This was the answer man with sad face
made to Justice Warfield yesterday. after his
wife had told the Magistrate she and her hus-
band couldn't get along. She complained that
the domestic breach was widening every dav
to the story, exaggerated 10 his mind the wife
told of her troubles She said but little of the
dogs and cats but when her husband spoke of
them it with sorrow and suffering. The
Squire advised them to try, if possible,
TO adjust their differences lovingly,
teen cats and eleven dogs wreck their happi-
ness 1t was evident the animals were a bur
den on the mans mind. He seemed thoroughly
detected. The couple went out of the court
room and discussed the situation, but it seemed
impossible to come to satisfactory terms. The
man consented to try life at home again if the
number of animals were cut down in some pro
portion, say one-half. She wanted all her pets
with her. The two left the station. The hus-
band refused to go home to be greeted with
those playful yepS and meows, so grating to
his nerves, but music so pleasant to his spouse.
He stood on the corner the picture of sadness,
and looked at the splendors in the western sky
as the sun was sinking, and thought, no doubt,
Of life in the beyond, where neither cats nor
dogs disturb the tranquility of the soul. Some
thing conquered him, IL may be the look from
his wife on the other side of the street. With
the expression of martyr on his face, he fol
lowed his wife down the street, and the two
went home together.

WORTHY Omcials.

An official who discharges his duties con-
scientiously and intelligently is pretty GER
tain to be appreciated. The difficulty Of
getting honest and capable officials is so
great that when one is obtained the people
do not like to part with him. 1t is true that
the schemers and wire-pullers are more sue
cessful in getting offices than steady-going
and thoroughly honest men, but that is be
cause the people are not always able to dis
tinguish the honest men from the dema
gogueS and rogues.
In New York at the present time there is
a very general demand by the best people of
the city that Mr. Delaney Nicholl, the
young assistant of the District Attorney,
who was chiefly instrumental in securing
the conviction of Jacob Sharp, shall be
chosen District Attorney. 1t is said that
the boodlers offered him a fortune if he
would quit the District Attorneys Office at
a critical period in the Sharp case, and that
he refused the bride. All the boodlers and
their friends, and all those who are anxious
for lax administration of justice, are
opposed to him for District Attorney. The
great mass of the people, however, want
him, and if the politicians refuse TO nomi-
nate him, it is not improbable that he will
be a candidate of the people, and be elected.
His popularity is due wholly to his integ
rity and ability. He has never been a ia
vorite with those who manage the political
machine
In Baltimore Mr.. Cans made himself a
reputation by his fearless prosecution of
those charged with having committed
frauds on the ballot box The political
bosses refused to give him any Endorsement
and the people have made him their candi-
date for Prosecuting Attorney. They want
him because they know that he will do his
whole duty without fear or favor.
The people perhaps are not as careful to
distinguish merit as they ought TO be.
While they appreciate good official they
do not show their appreciation as they
should. The right kind of officials are SO
scarce that when they get one of them they
should not only not want TO part with him,
but should also make it their business to see
that he is retained as long as he will con
sent to serve them.

AS Clever as Three-carde Monte.


Lady, you've dropped some of your money -
said well-dressed young man to Mrs. S. A. Van
Ripper, of Newark. in the State Bank at that
place yesterday noon. Mrs Van Ripper stopped
down TO pick up a dollar bill, and when she
arose her satchel, containing 1923, was gone.
The man who called her attention to the bill on
the floor was still at her side
That man is running away with your sat
chel, " he said
Mrs. Van Ripper did not see any man running
away but in her excitement she ran out of the
bank to look for the thief Meanwhile the man
who had called her attention to the bill, which,
without doubt, he had himself thrown on the
floor, went out of a side door, and was seen no
more. Mrs. Van Ripper, when she got tired of
looking for the thief in the street hurried to-
ward the police station, and was met near there
by a man who informed her that he had re-
ported the case to the police. She turned back
then, and the police heard nothing about the
matter until they learned of 1t accidentally two
hours later All the confederates got away
safe.
Mrs Van Ripper is wastcoat manufacturer,
and was drawing a check to pay her help when
the theft was committed She saw two men
watching her, but had no suspicion of their in
tentions

How She Hid Her Morphine Vice.
From the Neto York World.

From the NelC York World.
The ingenuity of morphine victims to hide
their vice has never been better illustrated than
in the case of a young girl at fashionable
young ladies' boarding-school near Philadel-
phia, who has just been taken away by her
parents. She said she learned to use morphine
from young married woman, well known in
society IN New York. whom she met at a water
ing place last summer The disclosure came
about accidentally. When the young student
returned to the school this fall she had periods
of deep dependency and often asked the
privilege of going to the room in the seminary
set apart as a hospital. There she would lie for
day at a time, only rousing herself when any
one approached the table. on which stood an ink
bottle and a stylographic pen. The nurse having
occasion to send message to the doctor at
tempted to write with this pen, the young girl
at that time being asleep. The pen not only re-
fused to write, but the practiced eye of the
nurse instantly recognized in the point the pune
turing needle of hypodernic syringe. This
led to an examination of the ink bottle. 1t was
a four-ounce bottle, but there was no ink in it,
1t was painted black on the outside and con
tanned Magende's solution of morphia, enough
for 1913 onehaf grain doses, or sufficient to last
until the Christmas holidays The principal of
the school was summoned immediately and
the sleeping girls arm barred. II was punctured
from the shoulder almost to the hand. and the
ivid blue marks confirmed the suspicion, which
was changed to absolute certainty by the small
abscess which had begun TO form in the forearm
just above the wrist The habit had been
formed about two months only. and there is
possibility that a cure can be effected.

If the Republicans ever get chance they
will wipe out the tariff duty on sugar and
then their Democratic brethren from Louis
lana will gnash their teeth in agony. They
will see themselves in the same position as
the great body of the people in other parts
of the country-subject to a draining tax
without any corresponding benefit. This will
be very hard to endure after the long course
of protection benefits the sugar planters
have enjoyed. They had better get back on
the Democratic platform. Then, if they lose
any of their protection they viii be partly
compensated by reduction at the same
time of the taxes they have to pay on other
necesSaries of life. If they continue to vote
with the Republicans, the interest they
represent is likely to be made the scapegoat
to carry off as much as possible of the sin of
the surplus.

The Central European Alliance.

1t now seems to be settled that Germany
Austria ana Italy have come to an agree
ment to meet by concerted action any ag-
gressive movement of France or Russia.
The latter countries, representing, as they
do, respectively, the extreme forms of popu-
lar and of autocratic government on the
continent of Europe, are not natural allies,
but they have been drawn into sympathy
by common hatred of Germany. Their
alliance would be threat of war On the
other hand, the agreement of the central
powers to stand by each other means peace,
and they have the sympathies of the world
with them.
The preservation of the peace of Europe
is no doubt the first object of Prince Bis
marck's policy in bringing about this de-
fensive alliance, but another subject is said
to be under discussion in connection with it,
of almost equal Importance, and an agree
ment upon which would have far-reaching
consequences. This is a proposition to ex-
tend the principles of the German Zolverein
so as to break down the customs
barriers between the three coun-
tries and within their limits leave
trade free from restrictions In commercial
matters if such an agreement were entered
into, Germany, Austria and Italy would
stand i'll about the same relations to each
other as do the States of our Union. The
rate of duties on imports might not be low
cred, but among more than a hundred mil
lion people trade would be free, and they
could not fail to benefit by such freedom
They would experience in perhaps as great
measure the blessings of free trade among
themselves which have made this country
prosperous in spite of unwise laws, restrict
ing and almost destroying its foreign com
merce.
Such commercial union would tend to
make strong and permanent the political
alliance. The interests of the people of the
three countries would become interviewer,
and their common interests would be q
pledge of peace among themselves as well
as bond of strength against the outside
world.
There are no doubt many and serious
obstacles to such union to be overcome,
but it is to be hoped that even this limited
experiment of free trade will be made, and
that its results will induce other nations to
adopt the same policy,
